The events at Tiananmen Square in Beijing on June 3rd and 4th 1989 remain seared in the memories of those who witnessed them, either at close range, or through media reports at the time. Soon after, Australian sociologist Jonathan Unger compiled and published a collection of essays that continue to be an ongoing testament to a time when the aspirations for human freedom throughout China took living form, only to be overturned by powerful forces controlled by the State, and then erased as far as possible from the memory of the Chinese people.

Remembering Tiananmen Square and the Pro-Democracy Protests offers a reflection of what took place on the night of June 3rd and the morning of June 4th, and incorporates a number of selected excerpts from Unger's The Pro-Democracy Protests in China. Reports from the Provinces.
